Fudge Round-up at London Collections MEN SS17
Slick British Geezers
Session stylist: Matt Mulhall for Fudge Professional
Collection: This collection is a celebration of Britain and its glorious seaside towns. The clothes have a distinctly nostalgic vibe with influencers from mods, teddy boys and 80’s casuals - all given a subversive British twist.
Hair inspiration: Hair gives the look of a boy who has been out all night and slept in the sun all day. He appears slightly sunburnt and his hair has the look of being freshly showered. A very laddish style as if he’s done it himself.
Step-by-step:
- Wet hair down and apply a vast amount of Fudge Professional Hair Gum all over
- Loosely comb the hair back and apply Fudge Professional Gloss to build shine
- Style the hair into a slight middle parting for an 80’s laddish hairstyle
- Finish with lashings of Fudge Professional Head Shine to make it look super glossy and freshly washed

Helmet Head
Session stylist: Tina Outen for Fudge Professional
Collection: Inspired by Bruce Brown’s seminal 1971 motorcycle film, On Any Sunday, this collection celebrates the care free attitude of the guys and girls from on and off the bike tracks. It combines effortless elegance with attitude.
Hair inspiration: Boyfriend and girlfriend out for the day riding their motorbikes wearing crash helmets. Hair is left flat to the head with a greasy texture and slight kink to create the effect of windswept helmet hair.

Sun’s Out, Curls Out
Session stylist: Tina Outen for Fudge Professional
Collection: Set in Miami, the vibe is beach and sportswear. Bright vibrant colours for hustler males, American red and blue stand out against crisp white. Dressed in intarsia palm shorts and striped pyjama suits and ‘deck chair denim’.
Women are more uptown, polished even in close proximity to water. Lurex striped tennis whites are given an intimidating edge with tightly cinched corsets. The corset is a recurring element of the collection giving Helmut Newton-esque pause to sweet looks.
Hair inspiration: Roman God meets beach boy for the men and polished and simple looks for the women so they contrast the boys’ curls and styled hair.
Step-by-step men:
- Prep hair with Fudge Professional Tri-Blo
- To make the Roman God curl and the beach boy curl, use Fudge Professional Curve Maker
- Use curling tongs to give hair a beautiful shiny curl, with no frizz
- Over curl the hair and then gently finger out the curls
- Define the curl, like a Roman statue, then spray with Fudge Professional Skyscraper, and then apply a hair net to protect the curls and gently blow-dry. Remove the hair net for set curls
- Finish with a spritz of Fudge Professional Head Shine to help define the curl

Barracuda Oil Slick
Session stylist: Tina Outen for Fudge Professional
Collection: Stars, stripes and predator fish – smooth on the surface, disturbed in the depths. The design links to the memory of working-class, market-town weekend finery to the abstract distraction of Hi-Viz and the deep blue foreboding of the sea.
Hair inspiration: Think Begbie from Trainspotting but sexier with a barracuda twist. Hair to resemble slippery fish with a splash of Paintbox oil slick exposed from the sea. Girl’s inspiration came from Kate Moss in the 90s with straight heavy hair slicked back with a high shine finish.
Step-by-step men:
- Blow-dry hair back smooth using Fudge Professional Tri-Blo
- Combine Fudge Professional Hair Gum and Gloss together and apply all over the hair. Tease hair back into a Begbie shape, leaving comb marks and create a barracuda fin shape
- Once dry, apply Paintbox mixed with Gloss and Hair Gum to random front sections of hair to resemble an oil slick
Step-by-step women:
- Wet hair down with water and drench hair with Tri- Blo. Apply Fudge Professional Hot Head Style Whip mixed with Gloss and distribute evenly through the hair.
- Blow-dry product back off the face and downwards to create a heavy / poker straight texture
- Combine Fudge Professional Hair Gum and Gloss together and apply with a tint brush up to the occipital bone. Comb back tightly and apply Paintbox oil slick to front panels of the hair
- Finish with Fudge Professional Light Hed-ed Hair Oil to the ends
